DRT/MAT as It Relates to NA: Helping Members Take Root

In this episode, we dive into one of the most discussed topics in Narcotics Anonymous today—how we, as a Fellowship, navigate Drug Replacement Therapy (DRT) and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) while staying true to NA’s principles. With no unified stance on the issue, many groups struggle with how to welcome newcomers on MAT without compromising NA’s foundation as a program of complete abstinence.We’ll explore NA’s literature, the importance of identification, and how we create a sense of belonging for all addicts seeking recovery. We’ll also discuss the Third Tradition, personal experiences, and practical ways to foster unity within the Fellowship.Join us as we break down myths, challenge misconceptions, and focus on the primary purpose of NA: carrying a message of hope and freedom to the addict who still suffers.For additional resources and to share your thoughts, visit na.org/idt
